Do No Harm

The Justice Department has concluded that UCLA's medical school engaged in illegal race-based discrimination in admissions, favoring Black and Hispanic applicants over others. The finding follows a year-long federal investigation into the school's diversity-based admissions practices. The Justice Department alleges that the school's focus on selecting minority medical students resulted in lower GPAs and MCAT scores.

The Justice Department found that UCLA's medical school engaged in illegal race-based discrimination in admissions, favoring Black and Hispanic applicants over others. The investigation was prompted by a lawsuit from the medical advocacy group Do No Harm. The Justice Department will not allow racism in admissions to continue.

Conservative group Do No Harm sued the US health department to dismantle the Native Hawaiian Health Scholarship Program (NHHSP), alleging racial discrimination in a program aimed at supporting Native Hawaiian students in healthcare careers. The lawsuit targets a decades-old federal initiative designed to address medical under-servicing in Hawaii.
